HP Printer not working in Vista - Fusion 1.1.1

I just got a new Mac Pro yesterday and it has 10.5.2 on it. I installed Fusion 1.1.1 and Vista Ultimate on the Mac. Everything works OK with the exception of the HP Laserjet 1022 printer. On the Virtual Machine tab, I choose "USB" then connect the HP Printer. Vista says there is a USB error. Is states that Vista doesn't recognize the device.

What can I do to correct this?

Thank you

from Apple to setup the printer in the Windows VM. However first delete

Faxes from Control Panel and reboot the Virtual Machine before
